If counting down the days to school start makes you a bad mom, than consider me terrible…at least for the last week or so. I like being at home with my monsters. I think the bonding that happens over good days, bad days and the in-between days is irreplaceable. However, when you work nights, sign […]

I love a good road trip. This year, the road trip to Michigan was even better than previous years. My parents called us and told me that it took them 8 hours to drive, what normally takes 2 through Chicago. Say WHAT? Not a chance in HELL do I want to sit in that type […]
Laughter Yoga – Funny?
I feel sorry for my friends. If “we age not by years, but by stories” over the weekend, I aged. * * * During the yoga teacher training program we had some keynote speakers. Michelle went over cueing and being a “bad” student so our cueing could be on point. I. Could. NOT. Stop. Laughing. […]

Thumbing
This posting once a month BS has GOT to stop… If anyone has any suggestions on how to get more consistent, I’m all ears. My planner plan OBVIOUSLY isn’t working. End rant. Almost. I think it’s because when I get into this rhythm of posting here, Facebook and Instagram my husband starts to call me […]
Words Have Power
I’m reminded of my childhood and some of the best advice to this day came from Disney movies. “Never look back darling, it distracts from the now.” Edna Mode – The Incredibles “Sometimes, the right path is not the easiest one.” Grandmother Willow – Pocahontas The one that sticks out and inspires this post is: […]
Change – not coins
One post a month just won’t do. I promise I’ll get better. My intentions are there but time swiftly moves at a pace I can not catch. Until now. I consider myself a kind, giving and thoughtful person. More often than not “thoughtful” becomes “over-thinking”. Although I’m a planner, my husband is quick to point […]

See through Pants
Yoga. The beautiful, calming practice of being still left me anxious as FUCK last Saturday. Ironic, right? I mean, how can something so soothing cause stress? That my friend, is all in the pants you wear. It was early on a Saturday. My men were house sitting which means I got a good night sleep […]

Being Authentic
My resolution for the new year was Freedom. Mainly in the financial department. Ironically working as a Financial Representative did not help us and we ended up getting into some financial trouble. It’s difficult to get ahead when you end up behind with the IRS. THIS year, fingers crossed, will be different. As the first month […]

Yesterday morning was something else. It. was. bad. I had worked the night before and was running on just a few hours of sleep. Lij had the girls class, which he does NOT care for. And in general were coming off of a 18 days of no routine. All of us were having trouble adjusting. It […]
Boycotting Christmas
I’ve never been a fan of my birthday. You’re probably thinking, YEAH RIGHT! But it’s true. I’ve never been a fan of it. For a long time I assumed I wasn’t a fan because of the aging aspect that comes with it. Another year older… not getting wise but getting wrinkles isn’t exactly fair in […]
